Looks like WordPress 2.6 is out. I submitted three patches about three months ago: 6583, 6602 and 6642. I’d like to sturdy up WordPress’s ability to handle invalid XHTML markup. Care to take a whack at my XHTML Piñata? This all sounds vaguely familiar.
Anyway does anyone have any suggestions on how to get these patches moving? Someone I need to email? kthxbai
I spent some time a few weeks ago quietly trying to shore up my XHTML defenses on my WordPress install - not everyone is planning to move to Drupal just yet. I have a bunch of patches that are aging. I think three of them are ‘good to go’ but I need someone to look at them. The patch for Ticket 5998 needs some work to make it applicable across trackbacks and pingbacks as well as ensuring it is applicable only for UTF-8. Unfortunately, no one is really looking at the patches because apparently no one on this planet would bother serving WordPress as true XHTML. Anyway, enough whinging - it would be great if some of these could make it into WordPress 2.5.1.
In the meantime, if anyone wants to try and break my WordPress install by injecting funky XHTML, please be my guest on this page. Currently Sam is in the lead with two breakages (now fixed). Oh, and your name doesn’t have to be Philip, Jacques, Mark or Shelley either.
I had heard the advice, but somehow I had not really looked at the actual results. I guess my referenced SVG clip art was causing a bit of a problem in feed readers as the images were only sized via external CSS (which feed readers do not bother picking up). Only after seeing the results of my referenced SVG objects in Planet Mars did I finally get around to doing something about it. Inline styles it is then, until I get around to embedding the images inline when syndicated). I hope this also fixes Opera’s handling of my clip art as well. Here is my Wordpress quick tag which I use to add clip art to my site:
Since the majority of my images are right-floated, for now I don’t mind the occasional one in which I switch float:left for float:right and margin-right for margin-left…
Since my feeds are now customized as part of my theme, I thought I’d take a look at some of the interesting things you can do. I knew that WordPress supports a variety of feeds at different levels (main feed, main comments feed, per-entry feed, per-category feed, etc).
What I was wondering was if there was a way to link each post in the feed to the comments feed of that story. This would allow a good feed reader to let people easily subscribe from the main feed to the conversation feed of a particular story where they have left a comment. Turns out it was fairly straightforward. Click To Read More...
I think XHTMLate should be pronounced “stimulate”. Anyway, here’s a list of WordPress bugs that I think are important for XHTML: Click To Read More...
